In Sickness And In Health

I haven't blogged in an age.

We've had a turbulent time of late with the wife being taken seriously ill and being flown down to Melbourne for treatment. I'm mightily pleased and relieved to report that the medication she's been given appears to be working and she's been back home for over a week now after being in St. Vincents for a fortnight.

It gave us all a hell of a shock and, once again, made me long for the familiar surroundings of home and family. The support we received from 'home' and from our friends and work colleagues over here was overwhelming and I thank everyone for their well wishes and kindness during this time. It was really, really appreciated by both Pauline and myself.

It's going to be a fairly long road to recovery for Pauline and life will never be completely the same again, but that's a small price to pay.

At least she's here.
